Thank you spamcan61 and royaloak

I'm sure the price will come down closer to the £100 mark in the same way that the blue/grey CEP has been offered at £89 recently.

 

Has anyone noticed that the driving trailers have to be fitted in a specific way? The second time I assembled it the lights worked the other way round (ie red going forwards and yellow backwards). It's a shame that only one pair of double white blanks are offered on the headcode sticker sheet, I may end uo seeing whether the Heljan sheets can be cut to fit and stuck on top.

where could you get them at £89? i am intrested maybe getting a 2nd train in blue and grey

 

40 or 50. This will help you out - http://semgonline.co...eadcodes03.html

this will come in handy for me

Charing Cross to Ashford or Folkestone Central for me

Thanks for the link

My NSE VEP has just arrived and overall I am happy with it. As with any model I will make a few light improvements, the pencil trick on the gangways being one, plus a renumber to a Brighton unit.

 

The same thing still strikes me, those horns are seriously undernourished but easily fixable, the first class compartment walls have already been noted elsewhere, if they were in black or a neutral grey then the starkness of the solid white wall would not have been so noticeable from the outside, again something that will receive some attention at some point.

 

One interesting issue that has arisen though, mine is a DCC Ready version on the box, the VEP within however has a little slip of paper telling me it is fitted with a DCC chip, a fact now confirmed once I got the MBSO body off!! Looks like a some DCC fitted ones have wound up in the wrong outer boxes, not a major problem for me but may be something others will need to check.

Looks like you got a result where others are going to have mmmm mine does not have a DCC Chip when they are expecting them in DCC fitted versions

Hornby are going to have fun i guess with this, he!he!

just had a telephone call from Digitrains my Hornby 4 VEP NSE is ready to go with DCC sound chip

i got my 2EPB NSE in the post yesterday i must admit the Bachmann 2EPBs are lovely looking models hence

having 2 now, 1 in grey and blue and a NSE version

All the best from Steve

Thank you for the link ;-)

all the best from Steve

thank you Oldddudders for the info

also thank you for pointing out the picture, i be honest i am only learning all the names as we speak i never did look

at them in detail however i can see me changing and wanting to learn the trains in more detail in due course

give you a brief example i always classed these in "two" older style windows and newer style windows which is my picture

on my posts "jaffa pic" i know the diffrences in side buy just looking at the windows when the train come in on the

platform

is there anywhere online which explains the diffrences in the trains buy its code? i think i need to get up to speed with this sooner rather then later

thanks in advance from Steve

can i ask the following to the people in the know here

why is traction wheels not that good on trains? i am concerned because i have no idea what is the main problem is with them

last thing i want to do is buy the train and make it all looking OK to my eye then the performance around the track is not that good and then i have to buy more parts to make it perform well

thanks in advance

pencil does work well here is another angle why the pencil works well "in my view"

reason being in real life it was a quite a bold gap line when you look closer

all i know that my Bachmann cep 411 and 2 epb run together very well in DCC

i am a complete learner to this hobby, but them two do team up very well

i am still going for 4VEP in NSE but i will do some weathering to the front and back yellow cab ends because i think it will help alot to the eye,

or if i am still in doubt i get some fine scale paint pens and do some graffiti on the yellow cab ends a bit like how a lot was running at the time to mask the face abit

i really do hope 4VEP runs as good as mine above, because this will be the 1st train i purchased from Hornby new

all the best from Steve

Hi i am newbie Steve i have been reading this post for mths with intrest because you could view this

topic via google without being a member anyway today i have joined the forum

some great points in the past and with the delays all adds to the mix

i spent many of hours on these trains

and at times i was on them 4 to 6 diffrent trains a day, i have wanted to get my hands on the NSE version from

Hornby since early last year when i 1st got wind of this train was being made b4 even buying my layout,

as some have pointed out the front ends was really in reality was filthy with flies and cack so maybe the end product

may be ok after all with a bit of weathering? but i do agree it does look odd in the pictures at the moment,

it be nice if Hornby or Bachmann did a jaffa cake colours in due course with the newer windows, that would keep me

quite for hours

all the best from Steve
